Sort Unicode Characters

Hi,

thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

From what I can see, you have two options here. You could either develop a custom sorting algorithm for such characters, following https://datatables.net/plug-ins/sorting/
Or, you could try the approach of adding another hidden column that has a number for each character. Then, you can instruct the DataTables JS library to use that number in the hidden column for the sorting. That’s explained (for a similar sorting problem) at https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/sorting-function-with-images/ and https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/consolidating-columns-without-changing-sorting-options/
